KELLEY ON THE AMEND
MF,NT.

The following from the pen of
Rev. d. G, Kelley is worth your
careful attention:
This Amendment has to do with
a great moral issue, which has,
under the declarations of Thomas
Jefferson, become rightfully a po-
litical question as well. Mr.. JEFF
fersOn says: mo man having a
natural right to be the judge be-
tween himself and another, it is
his natural duty to submit to the
umpirage of an impartial third"
That third, in this case, is, and has
been for more than a century, the
government and laws as formed
and executed by the people of our
State. The Amendment proposes
no new methods; it proposes to
continue, expand, and render per-
manent in our organic law what
the experience of these years has
thus crystallized. The liquor ques-
ton as presented by the Amend,
ment is wisely divided into its
rightful factors-viz.. it's use as a
beverage is divided from all other
uses. There are other uses ben
eficial; these are unmolested.
The beverage, known by long
experience and through ac-
eumulated statistics to be injuri.
GUS, and now proven by scientific
investigation to be only injurious,
is the only use prohibited. Next,
the Individual use remains Just
where If has been heretofore. Not
until the owner proposes to sell to
another does the impartial third
the lawl proposes to come in and
Judge between the two.
There is only one grou.d of ques.
ton left, admitting that We deal

A QUERY.

MR.. EDIToR:-Will you please let
me call the attention of all chris
tians who pray the Lords prayer
and | presume that all do) have
you thought of the true meaning
of that part which says: "Let thy
will be done in earth as it is done
i'll Heaven" DO you desire and
pray that your State may be as
free from the manufacture and
sale of intoxicating drinks, as a
beverage, as you believe Heaven
is, and will your vote accord with
your prayers!
REV. A. NJ. GILLESPIE.

with an evil, a great evil. Is its
curtailment Essential to the peace
and good order of the communityp
To this question the universal an
swer is, ''yesp' But no sooner is
this answer made than a volume OF
pleas are offered as to why this
thing, which is an admitted evil to
the body polite, should be dealt
with in some other way than that in
which all good government deals
with all other grave evils to the
body polite. The plan of govern
ment is to regulate things useful,
but liable to Incidental or acciden-
tai injury, while it is true in divine
and human law alike that the one
and only method used is to pro-
hibit that which is only evil. Ad-
nit the premises, aud the conclu-
sion is irresistible that prohibition
is the normal method of dealing
with the sale of liquors as bever-
age. This is the habitual method Of
government, and interferes With
no individual right. No individu'
al has right to do a wrong to an
other, or to tempt that other to a
wrong.
An Obscuring fog is attempted
to be raised in view of the question
being at the same time moral and
political. A single ray of historic
light shows us many such ques-
tiOns-murder, theft, pOlygamy,
misunderstanding, etc. Their NOR
al character, so long as they affect
only the individual, are not proper
subjects for legislation by the
State; but when they affect anOth;
er, and that influence becomes Sc
rious. good government always
prohibits the evil. A moral ques-
ion does not in any way change its
character because it has become a
subject of political discussion OF
legal enactmentS. You ask, then,
what some of the advocates of the
Amendment mean when they de-
clare that it is a moral and not
political question. They speak
without using words i'll there exact
sense. What they mean to say is
that by the agreement of both pc.
litical parties this is not question
in party politics, and in this they
adhere strictly to the facts i'll the
c .se.

We are anxious to record the
will of all the voters of this cOun-
ty on the proposed amendment,
and, therefore, insist that every
voter cast his vote yea or nay, as
he may wish. If the amendment
fails and a majority of the voters
of this county oppose prohibition,
we see no reason why we should
not have saloons in Savannah and
as many other places in the coun-
ty as may be desired. There are
about 2700 voters in the county
and we would like for that many
votes to be cast September 20.

Their Business BOOMING.

Probably no one thing has caused
such a revival of trade at BarlOw's
drugstore as their giving away to
their customers so many free trial
bottles of DR.. Kings New DiscOv-
cry for consumption. Their trade
is simply enormous in this valuable
article from the fact that it always
cures and never disappoints. Colds

fore buying by getting trial bot

An TniunctiOn Issued.

MT. James D. Deweil, MT. Henry Russell, Mir. John R. Cummins, members of New Ha ven Commandsry, through Attorneys Julius Twiss and William A. Wright, also members of the same Commandery, yesterday prayed out an injunction to restrain New Haven con- mandery,7 Knights Templar, Franklin chap ter, Wooster Tod ge, Trumbull lodge and Rock lodge, their members, servants or agents from moving said furniture or deco rations from any apartment of the Masonic Temple now held by Hiram lodge. This in- junction was signed by Judge Pickett and served on the above named lodges, thus re- straining them from moving any of the fur niture from Masonic Temple to their new rooms in Clark's building until after the de- cision of the Supreme court in September as to whether the injunction shall be made per manent or not. It seems that Hiram lodge has lease of the Masonic Temple, where the other Masonic bodies also met, and that the furniture was bought by subscription from Masons of all lodges. As the other bodies were about to move the furniture into Clark's building the petitioners prayed out the injunction.
